I'm trying to troubleshoot a "sluggish" problem on our network that apparently is only happening on one subnet. The current scenario is as follows:
- Mikrotik RB3011 as Firewall and router between 2 internal subnet, running RouterOS V6.46.7
- Port SFP1 is connected to the Internet via a Cable Provider
- Ports 1-5 are bridged together (bridge1) and Port 1 is used to connect to subnet ADMIN - 192.168.0.0/24
- Ports 6-10 are bridged together (bridge2) and Port 6 is used to connect to subnet CFTV - 172.16.0.0/20
- First switch for ADMIN network is a TP-Link model T1600G-28TS connected to Mikrotik Port 1 and has IP address 192.168.0.2
- First switch for CFTV network is a Allied Telesis model x510-28GTX connected to Mikrotik Port 6 and has IP address 172.60.0.2
- STP protocol is disabled in all network switches (Mikrotik, TP-Link, Allied Telesis)
During troubleshooting I'm observing the following behavior:
- PING from RB3011 to 192.168.0.2 (TP-Link) via interface bridge1 gets several timeouts, despite the fact the switch is directly connected to RB3011 Port 1. See screen capture attached.
- PING from RB3011 to 192.168.0.2 (TP-Link) via interface bridge1 with ARP PING selected gets no timeouts.
- PING from RB3011 to 172.16.0.2 (Alllied Telesis) via interface bridge2 gets no timeouts, with or without ARP PING selected.
- PING from RB3011 to either 192.168.0.2 or 172.16.0.2 via respective physical ports 1 and 6 gets timeouts and attempts to reach addresses via external IP address
Thanks for any help!
